Chapter 16
I love you so much, I will never take you with me if I have something delicious and fun in the future! "
Yan Xuan hurriedly said: "How can I not be worried? It's just that I think, little uncle, you have been harmed for 1 years... Ah, no, it's the auspicious people who take care of themselves. Hehe, it's so easy to be harmed by others." ? Hee hee, if you don't harm others, they will all laugh, who is so mad that he dares to harm you?"
His flattery was neither light nor heavy, and the heat was just right, Zhai Xiaohou was full of comfort, and said with a smile: "Yes. Huh, whoever dares to harm me will definitely make him eat and walk around!" The incident of his being attacked that time was quite serious. Strange, it was extremely dangerous at that time, if Long Yin hadn't saved him on a whim, he would have turned into a pile of bones long ago!Zhai Xiaohou was a little scared, he didn't know who was plotting against him, but he was secretly vigilant, his Zhai family was not a commoner, it would take a lot of courage to dare to harm him, and there are not many such people in the world... …
Seeing him in deep thought, Yan Xuan tilted his head and sized him up carefully. He hasn't seen him for a few months, but Zhai Xiaohou has changed quite a lot. The most obvious thing is that his body has become taller and stronger. When he looked closely, his temperament has also changed. Well, how should I say it? Well, it's actually a bit fairy-like.He looked at Zhai Xiaohou's exquisite clothes and the huge pearl on his wrist, and said with a smile: "Little uncle, did you have any romantic encounters recently? Look at your body, you are doing well."
Zhai Xiaohou came back to his senses, and said with a proud smile: "Needless to say, where can your little uncle go to eat? Even if the Jade Emperor is in front of him, the scenery is still unlimited!" Although Long Yin lives in seclusion, the cave is full of the best clothes and accessories. Okay, Zhai Xiaohou is about the same size as him, so I wear his clothes, the style is quaint and the materials are high-quality, and the pearl on his wrist is casually used as a light, so that it is convenient to go to the storage room to get things.
Yan Xuan laughed and said: "Of course, of course, but you'd better go back to Beijing with me first, let me do a job in front of Grandpa Zhai and the emperor, and get the reward, then you can go wherever you want, even if you want to go to the Queen Mother." I don't care about the Pantao Society."
Zhai Xiaohou glared: "I don't want to go back yet." He thought: Miss Long is still waiting for me, even if I want to leave, I have to abduct him and bring him back to show my father, this trip is not in vain.
Yan Xuan said: "Little uncle, just take pity on me, you should go back with me first, and talk about other things later."
Zhai Xiaohou didn't do it, Yan Xuan was soft-spoken, just refused to let him go, Zhai Xiaohou had something to do with his wife, he didn't feel it himself, but Yan Xuan didn't dare to be careless, it was a pleasant surprise to find him after looking for the gods, and everything at the moment Regardless, he immediately sent an order to leave the camp and return to the capital. Zhai Xiaohou yelled and made a fuss and insisted on leaving. Yan Huan saluted him with a smile, and ordered someone to put him down with drugs when he turned around, and carefully moved him to a luxurious carriage. Escort, day and night, rush back to the capital.
* 20 *
One day in Tufeizhi, Zhai Xiaohou slept and woke up, and when he woke up, he yelled at Yan Xuan and struggled to leave, but Yan Xuan couldn't fight back, he coaxed him to eat something, and then Added ingredients and ginseng soup to the bowl, put him down again, and then hurried on, almost day and night to rush back to the capital, which took more than half of the time he left the capital.
As soon as Zhai Xiaohou was sent to Rongping Hou's mansion, he immediately threw it into the boiling oil pan like a drop of water, exploded, and became a mess up and down. The old Hou was so happy that he passed out twice, and more than a dozen concubines flocked to him , crowded Zhai Xiaohou's room to the brim, Yan Xuan couldn't hide, surrounded by groups and questioned carefully, his head was as big as a bucket.
Finally, the old Hou Ye showed his power and drove all the people out, leaving only two capable girls to serve him. He lay beside his son and called out tearfully, until Zhai Xiaohou replied in a daze, "Old Hou The grandfather immediately passed out for the third time, and the two maids hurriedly put him on the bed, and let the father and son lie side by side, slowly waking up.
After the two father and son woke up, they couldn't help crying. The old Hou Ye wanted to scold his son, but Zhai Xiaohou acted first, and cried hoarsely while holding him. , I shed tears for a long time with him, so I forgave him.
Zhai Xiaohou saw that the cloudy weather had turned clear for his father, he wiped his tears and asked, "Where is Yan Xuan?" This kid dared to use drugs to bring him down, and forced him back to the capital regardless of his wishes, this account must be settled carefully Calculate.
Old Hou Ye wiped away his tears and said: "Xuan'er is such a good boy, I have ordered someone to reward him well, and the title deed of the garden in the west of Beijing will be delivered to him tomorrow morning."
Zhai Xiaohou said: "That garden in the west of Beijing!" It is not an ordinary garden, covering an area of over a hundred acres, including a small hill, forest, grassland, and lake. It is almost the same as a royal palace. Gifted by the emperor, because of the beautiful scenery and open terrain, the text can be leisurely and enjoyable, and the martial arts can be used for horse racing and hunting. The dignitaries and dignitaries in the court and middle school all like to go there to play. In spring and autumn, the emperor often goes there to stay for a few days. .
"So you used it to offer rewards!"
"Yes." The old master wiped away his tears: "You are my lifeline, as long as I can get you back, I will give you anything I want, without you, what do I need these things!"
Zhai Xiaohou was so moved, he threw himself into his father's arms and cried loudly, this time he really felt guilty, he made his father so sad, his beard and hair became white in half a year, he seemed to be ten years old, he really regretted it.
"Father, the child is unfilial, you can hit me and scold me, I...I...I'm sorry for you..."
Old Hou Ye hugged him and said, "Silly boy, how can Dad be willing?"
The father and son cried for a while, Zhai Xiaohou remembered and asked, "Father, who has the closest relationship with you during my absence?"
The old Hou Ye said: "The emperor and queen, a group of old friends in the court, and the princes, all came to relieve me in turn, even your uncle wrote a letter from a long distance to comfort me, and sent your nephew Xi Liang to send it in person, alas, If it weren't for them, I might not have been able to wait for the day when you come back."
Zhai Xiaohou's heart moved, and he asked: "Xi Liang is here?" Xi Liang is the eldest grandson of his uncle Fuyuan General Zhai Zhi, who just turned [-] this year, and has always lived with Zhai Zhi at the border, only a few years ago when he came to Beijing to visit his little uncle and uncle.
Old Hou Ye nodded, and Zhai Xiaohou asked again: "What else has Uncle expressed recently?"
The old master said: "Letters come almost every month, and many gifts are also given. Thinking about it, we brothers haven't been so close for many years. Xi Liang is also very careful and very filial to me." Speaking of this, he He stopped suddenly, looking at his son with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
A suspicion slowly surfaced in Zhai Xiaohou's heart, and after a long while, he said, "Father, I'm hungry."
The old Hou Ye immediately ordered the two maids to go down to pass the meal, and ordered people to guard the door, and anyone who came should report.
Zhai Xiaohou lowered his voice and asked: "How is Chaozhong now?"
He asked vaguely, but the old Hou Ye understood, and said in a low voice: "King Cheng and the prince are still fighting fiercely. I made up my mind not to express my opinion, but your aunt and uncle hope that I will support King Cheng." After a pause, he said again: "It stands to reason that we should help Cheng Wang, after all, he is your cousin, but I looked at it coldly, the emperor is still more towards the prince after all, and he is particularly disgusted that the foreign relatives have a lot to do with the issue of establishing a crown prince." I don't care what other people do, as long as you are safe and sound, I don't care who they love as emperor!"
Zhai Xiaohou sighed, the current emperor has eight princes, the most promising ones are the 32-year-old prince and the 28-year-old Chengwang. One of them is the son of the former empress, and the other is the son of the current empress. Both of them are quite wise. With talent, there has long been a disagreement between the DPRK and China on the matter of succession. In recent years, the trend has intensified, and even the emperor can't be suppressed.
Rongping Hou Zhaihan, as the eldest brother of the empress, is of course regarded as a king. Although he is indifferent in nature, he is only known for eating, drinking and having fun. He is a well-known idle prince in the court. But he is a descendant of the founding fathers, a hereditary first-rank marquis, with an outstanding status in the court and a very wide network of contacts. His younger brother Zhai Zhi is a general of Fuyuan, commanding 20 elite troops to garrison the northwest. He is the head of the generals in the court, but Cheng Wang is extremely powerful. backing.
"Father, after I was assassinated that day, did anyone make trouble out of it?"
The old master pondered for a while, and said: "Yes, at that time, there were several clues pointing to the prince. It seemed that he ordered someone to assassinate you, but because your body was never found, I firmly refused to believe that you had been killed, so they It’s impossible to say.”
Zhai Xiaohou knew in his heart that if he was really killed that day, his father would be so angry that he might vent his anger on the crown prince, give up his neutrality, and fully support Chengwang. pivotal role.
Just at this point, the girl outside the door said loudly: "Master Xiliang came to greet the young master."
Zhai Xiaohou looked at the old master, the father and son had a tacit understanding, they didn't say anything anymore, they both showed a weak and sad look, the old master tremblingly said: "Come in."
A young man stepped in from outside the door, greeted Zhai Xiaohou happily, and congratulated the old Hou Ye. His words were sincere and consummate, and it could be seen that although he was young, he was very organized.
Zhai Xiaohou squinted at him, and said with a smile: "Xi Liang, you've grown up so much, you look like a ghost. Fortunately, I still think about you when you were young, how fun it is."
Xi Liang was a little embarrassed. Zhai Xiaohou was talking about the time he came to Beijing seven or eight years ago. At that time, he was teased enough by this naughty little uncle, and finally left crying.
"It's Xi Liang's blessing that the little uncle loves his nephew."
Zhai Xiaohou laughed
